As with all of our programs we focus on teaching kids the fundamentals of road racing and support them to become the racer they want to be. At the same time, the number one rule is to have fun!

We provide top quality coaching from volunteer licensed USA Cycling Coaches. We help teammembers by providing access to the best equipment in the sport, and providing mechanical, logistical, and travel support to allow the kids to concentrate on their racing.

This approach has created a family like atmosphere where the kids look forward to seeing their teammates and the staff every weekend during race season. They get to hang out with their buddies while warming up, and then at race time they're fresh, relaxed, and ready to race! A strong sense of team is important to junior racers. Having other kids who have the same focus on racing boosts their confidence and helps them reach their goals.

We break our road program into two divisions: 14 & under and 15 to U/23. Each division has its own coach providing the kids with a focused program aimed at their age and ability level. With the big difference in strength and skill within this age span we find the younger kids are able to learn and develop more by having their own program.

Rad Racers compete in all forms of road racing at many different levels. You'll see the kids at the local crits on up to Nationals and beyond.
